Well, since I can't really ride,my brother in law brought his old thraged Helix taht he bought last year over for me to piddle with. I figure I will set it up basically a ke mine with twin radiators and fans, a back up fuel pump already connected awih a toggle because seems Helix fel pumps love to quit at very inoppurtune times. Will replace all whel bearings, motor mount bushings and all the like. My son helped me lower my work benches enough I can wheel up to it and work. Now it's all on me to get the damn bike up there.... May put an extra fuel tank in it too he has an old radio from his dead Vstar I will install. I can't wait to go riding with him and my wife.

Day 5 of a 12 day scretch of work Be thankful you are able to work, and that you are working. I need really thought about it before my accident.. Get up, go to work work like a dog go home bitch about work shower bed repeat. Now that I am not able to work....I can't stop thinking about it. It was a way I relaxed, after a hard day's work, bitch and groan about it well that was just blowing off steam. I know you were not complaining. I just figured since this is a pointless thread I wanted to contribute some pointless dribble. No offense intended to anyone.

The problem is that when it's my on call the issues are because of pure stupidity not normally an actual machine failure. Take today I had a round trip of 5.5 hours for one call all because a store leader couldn't make sure their people are trained how to clean the stupid franke coffee machine or how to use the iPad So because of that it cost our company 300 bucks today. There is normally at least one call like that every weekend that's 15000 a year that doesn't go into our 40% profit sharing(the company I work for return 40% of pre tax profits to the coworkers in a yearly bonus)

Heck you seem an asset to your company and here i whined last week working saturdays just to sit in the garage bs and work on my own mower And i mean that as a compliment. We may almost always work 6 days a week but lets face it me and my shop partner in crime cant exactly say weve had it hard these past months.

Go to work; work on bikes, quads scooters buggies even tractors(?) Get home; work on my MC-54-250-B prepping for paint. The broken open battery made a real mess of my shiny aluminum engine and CVT cover. Now its all been painted metallic gloss black. Depending on the selection of Fusion paint/primer at my local Ace hardware Friday and Saturday during the bucket sale I am hopefully repainting the fairing back to a deep burgandy, but I might have to settle for a flat black and get a can of black caliper paint for the red wheels. I am praying that tomorrow mornings truck will bring some more red color choices for the plastic body work on my baby....
